I know that there will always be people who stand outside. And I know they probably free right in doing so because they feel more comfortable like that. But they grew up in the same society as we do and have learned the same value system. You can't just erase that as a conscious "Oh, I'm going to wipe that off of my mind and pretend I don't know it anymore."
I'm willing to bet that they know they're weird and that we're the normal ones. They might think that we're different than they are. Our definitons of "normal" are different in a personal way, but not in a society way. And society will always rule (unless you're removed from society and haven't been influenced by it overly much).
